Upsides

Effective at helping people fall asleep faster.

Doesn't last as long in the body as some other sleep medicines, so it's okay to take it in the middle of the night as long as you enough time to sleep. (But be sure to discuss it with your doctor first.)

In a clinical trial Doxepin was able to significantly improve sleep quality.
